SCOR-DRM

Overview

Description

The project sets out and implement a strategic coordination process at the level of the Ministry of Interior's Department for Emergency Situations (DSU), with the organisations involved in disaster risk management, in the area of responsibilities covered by the Department for Emergency Situations (DSU). 

The project aims to develop a unitary approach and a common understanding of processes when dealing and working with procedures and legislation in the area of disaster risk management. Also, gaps will be better identified and proposals for adjustments and improvements are expected to be more completely addressed, as the inter-institutional interaction will provide more knowledge, experience and best practices at the same time. 

Furthermore, a strategic coordination process will strengthen the national disaster risk management framework, with analysis, better procedures (new and/or refined ones) and proposals for legal provision and guidelines that will enhance the institutional and technical capacity of the organisations involved. 

The procedural improvements and the guidelines developed for the processes' implementation will enhance the response capacity of the Department for Emergency Situations for future risks and emergency situations, addressing in a proper manner the critical needs identified in disaster risk management process.
